I hope I'm wrong, but I'm worried that both candidates will stick to the talking points so strictly that this debate will be extremely boring.
I think alot of the forum members are expecting too much out of the debates, they might not even matter.  We will see what happens.

Why are people in the USA so obsessed with their auto industry? It's hardly as important to the US economy as say, the financial sector. And let's be honest - you people will never be good at making cars.
Yep, true.

I'm incredibly nervous right now - haven't been this nervous once this campaign.

This debate is critical - I'll admit it. So far, so good.
I know that feeling.

Note to Mitt. Outside the Fox/Rush bubble, names like Solyndra/Fisker/Green etc are not seen as evil.
Green energy is fine if done by private companies.  But throwing government money into fire doesn't work.
